    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poems about Space, the Universe, the parts that make up the whole of it, and the laws of nature that define us. These poems range from planets and moons, to stars and galaxies; from quasars to black holes; from Kitty Hawk to Voyager to ourselvesthe human factor, and our role and awe in all of this.


    Physics is poetry in motion. There can be no doubt about the chemistry of words.
    As a child, I would spend hours looking up at the night sky and wondering. Not all of our questions can be answered by looking up. But it is a start. Answers come and go. It is only when we run out of questions, that we cease to exist.

      The first time I saw a meteor, I’d slipped outside to lie in the grass after everyone else had gone to sleep. The daytime commotion of my cousins’ and siblings’ games and my Poppop’s blaring polka music often drove me to tears. As an introvert, I wan
